Refrigerant Recovery





Discharge

Warning:
- Keep away from open flames. The refrigerant, although nonflammable, will produce a poisonous gas if burned.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Refrigerant evaporates quickly, and can force all the air out of a small enclosed area.


1. Connect a Refrigerant Recovery System to the A/C system.

2. Operate the Refrigerant Recovery System according to the manufacturer's instructions.

IMPORTANT: Do not vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. The chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in conventional refrigerant (freon) may damage the earth's ozone layer. Always use UL listed, refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment to extract the refrigerant before you open an A/C system to make repairs.

Note: Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
